What is ‘styling’ and do I really need it?
Styling is the art of making a space look beautiful, function well and feel homely / personalised.
It comes in the form of any and everything decorative; from art and cushions, to flowers, candles, accessories, linen and beyond!
Styling for the home
Take a new-build for example. In the name of speed and cost efficiency, often they are built to ‘cookie-cutter’ specifications with each one following a simple template and zero customisation. Plain floors, white walls and often no window treatments. (Read: no colour and no personality!) Add furniture and you give the spaces purpose. Add styling and those rooms level up to being personalised, functional and beautiful.
The best styling says something about the homeowners; it offers a glimpse into their passions & interests, and compliments or improves their preferred way of living in a space. In a bid to cut down on unnecessary ‘clutter’, it should serve a practical purpose as well as look good!

Styling for events
Styling is the icing on the cake that takes your day, makes it yours in a way that stands out from all the others and tells your guests “Hey, we’ve thought about this and you’re in for something special!”
Much like a new build home, event venues and marquees offer a blank canvas for you to put your own stamp on; the perfect opportunity to add flair ‘your way’ from the ground up & make the space work it’s hardest to reflect your purpose and your personality, whatever that might be!
Whether it’s a wedding, a birthday bash, or a corporate conference, the right styling sets the mood faster than a DJ playing Beyoncé. It turns plain tables into conversation starters, empty rooms into elegant soirees, and guests into camera-happy attendees! It’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling good.
Simple, chic and loaded with texture
This couple were after a simple, elegant ‘garden party’ feel for their wedding.
While pared-back in colour, we packed in lots of texture on the dining tables to add dimension and bring the tables to life, and help enhance the full-colour garden florals that made up the styling main feature!
Crystal glassware, pinstriped tablecloths, ribbed votives, ruffled plates, soft linen napkins, silk ribbons, and bone inlay cutlery (*phew!*) to name just a few…
The thing I love most is that each and every person’s home and event styling will differ based on their own personal needs and preferences for how they wish to use a space – no ‘copy paste’ designs here!
For every space and occasion there is a well-considered styling solution…
